Getafe vs. Cadiz Match Analysis and Prediction

Getafe host Cadiz at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday, hoping to gain ground on their rivals near the foot of the 2022-23 LaLiga standings with kickoff at 4 pm.

Getafe have started to grind out results since a slow start to the season, with three wins and three draws in their last eight games.

They’ve pulled away from the relegation scrap and are slowly building momentum. Their focus has been on solidity on the road, posting around 0.33 expected goals per game across their last three LaLiga trips.

Nonetheless, despite seeing just 28% of the ball against Celta Vigo two weeks ago and hitting the target just once with a 25-yard free kick from Enes Unal, Getafe were denied a win in the dying moments. Against Elche last weekend, Getafe won 1-0 with a spectacular goal from their Turkish striker.

Getafe have scored just eight goals in their opening 12 games this season, with three of those coming last weekend as the goal-shy Gaditanos beat Atletico Madrid in a sensational game at the Estadio Ramon Carranza.

Despite a late Joao Felix brace to draw the contest level, a goal after 28 seconds from Theo Bongonda and an emphatic finish from Alex Fernandez saw Sergio’s men more than double their home tally for the season in the most incredible 90 minutes of football.

Getafe Team News

Sanchez Flores will not have Mauro Arambarri to help him out in midfield for the World Cup after an operation on his ankle, and Damian Suarez has also strained his left hamstring. All of Fabricio Angileri, Nemanja Maksimovic and Munir El Haddadi will be forced to sit this one out.

Cadiz Team News

Right-back Joseba Zaldua is out for the rest of the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament. Otherwise, though, Sergio has a relatively full squad to choose from, with healthy competition starting to break out across the starting lineup.

Prediction and Odds

The firepower of Enes Unal, along with the home advantage, should result in a win for Los Azulones. The team’s encouraging unbeaten streak should also extend to five matches.

• Home Win
• Goals Under 2.5
• No Score: Away
